Rethinking Green

The June 2008 issue of Wired Magazine has a great article, Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready To Rethink What It Means To Be Green, that questions all those feel good things we do to be green.

Although the article is rather simplistic and doesn't go far enough, the subject is right on and ripe for discussion.

Here's the intro paragraph:

"The environmental movement has never been short on noble goals. Preserving wild spaces, cleaning up the oceans, protecting watersheds, neutralizing acid rain, saving endangered species — all laudable. But today, one ecological problem outweighs all others: global warming. Restoring the Everglades, protecting the Headwaters redwoods, or saving the Illinois mud turtle won't matter if climate change plunges the planet into chaos. It's high time for greens to unite around the urgent need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases."
